I wasn’t really sure what to do for the career blog so I decided to stop by the STARR Career Development Center. I’ve recently been thinking about applying for internships for the spring semester, but wanted to better my resume. I currently work in retail so having a super professional resume isn’t as important as having one for an internship. When I went to STARR I found exactly what I needed, someone to review my resume. I meet with a girl named Victoria, she was really helpful. Although we didn’t have much time she helped me and gave me pretty good tips. First we review my resume’s format and how I can move things around to create a better flow of things. She even noticed how my font color wasn’t all the same, I didn’t even notice that. We moved onto wording, she said having a power verb can help emphasis descriptions of jobs better. She showed me different examples and gave me a booklet i can refer to when I make my edits. I also learned what a cover letter is, before I wasn’t really sure. From my understanding of what she said its a way for employers to know a bit about you while getting a grasp of your writing skills. Overall the experience was informative and I definitely would take the tips she gave me into consideration when editing my current resume and writing my cover letter. I will for sure be visiting STARR again throughout my time at Baruch.
